1. Port Arthur Historical Site, Tasman Arch, Devil's Kitchen, Chessboard Rocks, Blowholes. Port Arthur is a colonial-era penal settlement. It was the largest prison in the Southern Hemisphere in the 19th century and remains the best-preserved prison site in Australia. Port Arthur's cultural history and the beautiful scenery of the Tasman Peninsula have made it one of Tasmania's most popular tourist destinations. Every visitor to Tasmania makes a special trip to Port Arthur (entrance fees are at your own expense). On the way to Port Arthur Prison, we'll also visit four natural wonders of the Tasman Peninsula: Tasman Arch, Devil's Kitchen, Chessboard Rocks, and Blowholes.

Richmond - Mount Wellington - Oyster Farm - Cherry Picking (Seasonal)
We'll begin the morning by driving to Richmond, one of Australia's best-preserved towns. Here, you'll visit Australia's oldest stone arch bridge, built in 1823, and a Catholic church, built in 1836. The town's historic bakeries and dessert shops are also popular tourist destinations and served as the filming location for the Hong Kong film "Once Again." In the afternoon, we'll climb Mount Wellington, 1,270 meters above sea level, for a breathtaking panoramic view of Hobart and the surrounding waters. We'll also visit Tasmania's renowned oyster farms, where you can sample fresh Pacific oysters (tasting at your own expense). During cherry season (around December), we'll pick and taste Tasmanian cherries (tasting at your own expense).
3. East Coast - Swansea - Cowes Bay, Honeymoon Bay, Wineglass Bay. Tasmania's east coast is a dreamlike world. Blue skies, white clouds, vibrant waters, and multicolored reefs embellish the coastline with a vibrant riot of color. In 1999, Wineglass Bay was voted one of the world's top ten beaches by the American travel magazine "Outside." However, nestled in the mountains, Wineglass Bay's beauty is concealed. Visitors must ascend and expend considerable effort to truly appreciate its beauty. Stop en route in the beautiful coastal town of Swansea to admire the beauty of Tasmania's east coast from all angles. (For driving safety, the guide will not accompany the hike.)
Because Maria Island is on the way to Wineglass Bay, we may arrange for Wineglass Bay and Maria Island day tour passengers to share a car on the same day. Please understand
4. Cradle Mountain, Lake Dove - Mural Town. Depart for Cradle Mountain this morning. Cradle Mountain is located at the northern end of Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park. It is the most famous hiking route and part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. After arriving at the scenic area by car, take the internal shuttle bus up the mountain and then hike. The beautiful Cradle Mountain is leisurely reflected in the calm waters of Lake Dove. This view is truly unique and a classic image captured by photographers. After the hike, take the shuttle bus down the mountain to Launceston. On the way back, pass through the town of Sheffield, where you can also admire the exquisite murals.
The shuttle bus required to go up and down the Cradle Mountain Scenic Area is 15 Australian dollars per person, and the cost is at your own expense
5. Cataract Valley - Ross Town - Swiss Cultural Village/Lavender Farm (December to January)
Launceston is the second largest city in Tasmania and a key gateway to northern Tasmania. It has numerous Victorian buildings and is filled with an atmosphere of bygone history. First, we will drive to the Swiss Cultural Village, where we can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Tamar River along the way. Or in December-January, we will visit the famous lavender farm (entrance fee at own expense). After lunch, we will drive to Cataract Gorge Reserve, only 15 minutes from the city center. There is a pedestrian cable bridge built in 1904 across the river, the beautiful Victorian Gardens, the world's longest single-cable chairlift across the gorge (ride at your own expense), and trails built along the cliffs where you can also see rare wild peacocks.
In the afternoon, depending on the itinerary, you may be transferred to the city of Langsall or Langsall Airport for disbanding. Other guests returning to Hobart will stop in the small town of Ross for sightseeing before returning to Hobart for disbanding.

FAQ

1. What month is best to visit Cradle Mountain?

The warmer months from December to February (summer) are generally considered ideal for visiting Cradle Mountain, offering longer daylight hours and milder temperatures suitable for extensive hiking. For those seeking unique snow-capped scenery, June to August (winter) provides a dramatic landscape, though some trails might be more challenging. Spring (September-November) and autumn (March-May) offer beautiful seasonal changes with wildflowers or vibrant foliage, often with fewer crowds.

2. How long is the hike to the summit of Cradle Mountain?

Hiking to the true summit of Cradle Mountain is a challenging endeavor, typically taking 6-8 hours for a return trip from Dove Lake. This involves steep, rocky ascents and descents over uneven terrain. Hikers should be prepared for rapidly changing weather conditions, carry appropriate gear, and have a good level of physical fitness. Shorter, less strenuous trails around Dove Lake are also available.

3. What is the physical difficulty level for the Wineglass Bay Lookout walk?

The walk to the Wineglass Bay Lookout is considered a moderate hike. It involves a steady, uphill climb over a well-maintained gravel track with some steps, taking approximately 30-45 minutes to reach the lookout point from the car park. While relatively short, the incline requires a reasonable level of fitness. Descending from the lookout to the beautiful crescent-shaped beach itself adds another 20-30 minutes each way.

4. What key historical experiences can be had at Port Arthur?

At the Port Arthur Historic Site, visitors can delve into Australia's convict past. Key experiences include guided walking tours that provide deep insights into the site's history and the lives of its inhabitants. You can explore significant ruins like the Penitentiary and Separate Prison, and take a scenic harbor cruise around the Isle of the Dead, a historic cemetery. It's a profound journey through a UNESCO World Heritage-listed site.

5. What can visitors experience at Mount Wellington (kunanyi)?

Mount Wellington (kunanyi) offers spectacular panoramic views of Hobart, the Derwent River, and the surrounding wilderness from its summit. Visitors can enjoy diverse walking trails ranging from easy strolls to more challenging hikes through sub-alpine vegetation. It's an excellent spot for photography, especially during sunrise or sunset. The weather at the summit can be unpredictable, so dressing in layers is always advisable.

6. What kind of scenery can be expected at Wineglass Bay?

Wineglass Bay is famous for its breathtaking, crescent-shaped white sand beach, set against the backdrop of vibrant turquoise waters and the pink granite peaks of the Hazards mountain range. From the lookout, visitors can admire the iconic, pristine coastal landscape. Descending to the beach offers a closer appreciation of the fine sand, crystal-clear water, and the surrounding lush coastal bushland, making it a picturesque location.

7. What type of hiking trails are available at Cradle Mountain?

Cradle Mountain offers a diverse range of hiking trails suitable for various fitness levels. Popular easy walks include the Enchanted Walk (20 minutes) and the Dove Lake Loop Walk (2-3 hours), both providing stunning views and wildlife spotting opportunities. For more challenging adventures, Marion's Lookout (2-3 hours return) offers impressive vistas, while the demanding Cradle Mountain summit climb (6-8 hours return) rewards hikers with panoramic views of the national park.

8. What are the main highlights of Cataract Gorge in Launceston?

Cataract Gorge, located just a short walk from Launceston's city center, is a unique natural playground. Highlights include the First Basin, where you can ride the world's longest single-span chairlift across the gorge, swim in the public pool, or relax in the beautiful gardens.
